Re: The current price of sugar.

only have 4 pound bags
I noticed the 4 pounders about a year ago.
i think they are taking advantage of some people do not know the difference.

Ever notice the 1 lb. coffee can that is 1/3 empty and has 11.50 oz. in it !

Or the 1 lb. size bacon package that has 12 oz. of bacon ?

Won't mention the reduction in size of the Cambell Soup cans, like most all other can goods. Most caned vegetables were in 16 oz. cans { If I remember they were called #1 cans } a lot of them now are 15 oz.in size.

They have even reduced the ounces of potato chips in those big air filled bags.

Re: The current price of sugar.

I was finally running out of the sugar I bought last year (Walmart - $1.50/5 lb bags of cane sugar) and the best price I could find, presently, was at COSTCO for $23.00/50 lb bags of C&H granulated sugar. Hopefully the two-50 lb bags I purchased will provide stimulative feed for my Nucs and cell-builders until we get some more rain, or the price of sugar goes down even more.

When we first started buying large bags they were 50lb, then they slowly went down to 40lb, some brands are at 34.4. You can still get 50lb bags in some of the cheaper foods and occasionally you will get a "special" offer of 20% free. Bottom line is they find it easier to sell if they reduce the amount you get rather than increase the price. I am sure at some point they will come out with a "New" larger bag for more $$$

Re: The current price of sugar.

I bought 2 pallets of sugar about 2 months ago from Rossman's. Fifty pound bags for $15.00 each while Dadant's wanted $17.00 per bag. Also as a fine grained sugar that mixes easier than the normal coarse grain stuff.

Re: The current price of sugar.

As far as Walmart, I have never seen 5 pound bags; everything is in 4 pound bags these days; check to make sure yours are actually 5 lbs.
Also, they just went up in price from $1.50 to $1.82 per 4 lb. bag.
